Marilyn Monroe IconicA New WrinkleLimited
Edition Photo Portrait by Tom Kelley. This gorgeous photo of a
22-year-old Marilyn Monroe nude against red velvet was taken by
legendary portrait photographer Tom Kelley in cramped Los Angeles
studio on May 27, 1949. Neither Kelley nor the soon-to-be-superstar
then known as Norman Jean Taylor knew it was a pop culture moment
in the making. The two-hour session produced a series of photos
that sold millions of pin-up calendars worldwide, boosted Monroe's
image as a sex symbol, and would become the first Playboy
centerfold just a few years later. This large glossy color 30" x
39" print is signed by Kelley in silver felt tip, and is in
Excellent condition. Accompanied by a COA from Kelley.
